Removing a volume from a consistency group
About this task
Remove a volume from a consistency group at any time. If the volume is exported in a storage view, it will remain in the storage
view.
Be aware of the following when you remove volumes from consistency groups:
● When you remove a volume, it retains the consistency group's visibility. Enabling or disabling remote access provides
information on changing a volume's visibility.
● When you remove a distributed volume, it retains the rule set applied to the consistency group.
Steps
1. From the GUI main menu, do one of the following:
a. In a metro node Local:
i. Select Provision Storage.
ii. In the View by drop-down, select Consistency Groups.
b. In a metro node Metro:
i. Select Provision Storage.
ii. In the Provision on drop-down, select the cluster of the consistency groups.
iii. In the View by drop-down, select Consistency Groups.
2. In the Consistency Groups view, select the consistency group.
The virtual volumes in the consistency group (if any) displays in the properties panel on the right.
3. Select Virtual Volume, and then click Remove.
A confirmation dialog box appears.
4. Review the volume to remove, and then click Remove.
The results dialog box opens.
5. Review the results, and then click Close.
Deleting a consistency group
About this task
Deleting a consistency group deletes the group, not the volumes in the group. If the volumes in the group are currently in a
storage view, they will remain in the storage view.
Steps
1. From the GUI main menu, do one of the following:
a. In a metro node Local:
i. Select Provision Storage.
ii. In the View by drop-down, select Consistency Groups.
b. In a metro node Metro:
i. Select Provision Storage.
ii. In the Provision on drop-down, select the cluster of the consistency groups.
iii. In the View by drop-down, select Consistency Groups.
2. In the Consistency Groups view, select one or more consistency groups, and then click Delete.
3. Review the consistency group to delete, and then click OK.
4. Review the results of the operation, and then click Close.
